Geometric Motifs for Weddings

June 25th, 2010

If you are looking for a wedding motif that is elegant and not too in-your-face, try selecting a geometric design. This guide will help to you see all the many ways you can design your wedding theme around a geometric motif.

A wonderful way to design your wedding around your favorite geometric design is to pick one that will tie in well with many of the wedding elements. In other words, let’s say that you fell in love with an Art Deco design, and have decided to use it on your wedding invitations. Perhaps you want to take it a step further and decorate your colors in the icy blue and silver tones which were prevalent in the Art Deco period. A sleek silky wedding gown with clear crystal bridal jewelry, a martini bar, and before you know it, you will have planned an entire fabulous wedding based on the inspiration of your geometric motif!

One geometric motif which is very easy to use for a wedding is the classic Greek Key design. A nice thing about this motif is that it is one which any groom would like, unlike many of the more flowery wedding themes. The simple shape would look excellent printed in gold around the border of a heavy cream invitation. It would be a very handsome design to have stitched around the border of simple white or ivory tablecloths for the reception tables. If you want to play up the “Greek” part of the Greek Key motif, consider serving delicious foods like spanakopita and baklava.

Whether you ultimately choose your geometric motif based on a Celtic knot, an art and design movement, or even a homespun sampler, be sure to really feature it throughout your wedding. One place you will definitely want to showcase your special design is on the wedding cake. Without a doubt, a wedding which is designed around a very special geometric motif is sure to be very sophisticated and stylish.
